Corporate Grants

Overview of the Corporate Grants program:

Patagonia provides grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 to non-profit organizations focused on preserving and protecting the environment. The funding is intended for initiatives that demonstrate strong public engagement, strategic thinking, and a clear path to achieving tangible environmental impact. The program supports campaigns that align with Patagonia’s core values of conservation, activism, and sustainability. Patagonia funds organizations working on various environmental issues, including: Climate change mitigation and adaptation. Biodiversity conservation. Environmental justice and equity. Clean energy advocacy. Habitat restoration and wildlife protection. The program prioritizes grassroots organizations that are often overlooked by larger funding bodies. Projects are expected to have a clear focus, actionable goals, and measurable outcomes. Organizations with a history of successful campaigns and demonstrated community engagement are especially encouraged to apply.
